As an owner of many powered drills, both battery and mains, I have to say that those Stanley hand drills are an awesome bit of kit. I’m 51 years old and I grew up with one exactly the same model as that available to me. It’s still a treasured possession. If you’re doing precision work on something like aluminium or plastic, and hand holding, you can’t get anything more accurate. You can go really slowly and adjust as you go, and easily position a neat and clean hole within 1/10th of a mm of where you want it. Great for small pilot holes prior to power drilling as well when you need that accuracy.
I'm a hobbyist woodworker and have a couple of those exact drills, still used regularly for all the reasons you mentioned. I also have a traditional bit and brace type drill,the bits are worn badly now but there is a pleasure in using it.
Talcum powder is an excellent dry lubricant to ease the pulling of cables through conduit, or for pulling twin and earth cable within or through an existing run of similar cables.
Or for making putting on your Class 0 gloves easier.
Or for fixing your sweaty arse on a hot day
We didn’t use mechanical hand drill for drilling masonry, with out percussion it would take ages. Sized Rawl chisels tapped with a hammer while turning by hand were remarkably quick. When working without access to mains electricity rawl chisels we’re the way to go. Only good for an inch or so deep to take rawl plugs though.
One step up was a piece of black gas pipe with a couple of teeth cut into one end. An old-timer plumber taught me that trick when we had to drill a 450 mm brick wall for two 18 mm pipes and didn't have a large enough SDS bit, worked surprisingly quickly with a proper lump hammer. Exactly the same technique, just 3/4" or 1" holes all the way through a thick wall if necessary.
Bradley You know it. It makes me laugh when I see these guys showing a young trainee how to use old tools and don't even know what are for themselves and the trainee will only use battery tools anyway. Also 3 blokes to put a power point in and that guy chatting and not working who is paying him. Come on mate it's work not a fashion show.
Yes Rawlplug jumper , what about the buckle clips every 6 - 9 ins for twin and earth without mechanical hammer , i use to rewire schools like this , i have arm muscles like mr universe
Rawl chisels. The oldtimers collegues spoke of those, when i was complaining about the 7.2 volt nicad makitas 20 years ago.
Ha ha. Wooden plugs... remember the cold chisels and wood plugs. My first metal case Black & Decker electric drill couldn't make a mark on London sewer bricks in my parents' house.
Where is the board isolated from 8:00? You had your finger right next to the exposed busbar, there was no isolator and the cut out fuse was still in?
7:40 on my screen - but you are quite right, not a good influence, video should be
taken down and there should be regs to have such bus-bars insulated, too many
would be electricians with clever certificates out there !
He’s gonna hurt himself one day as he’s getting complacent all in the name of making these vids..
I was looking at where he had his hand at 13:06 compared to where he was looking, then seeing it live n being switched off (as such!) ten seconds later,
Hi all the way from Australia, just wanted to say I've been a long long time watched and pretty much first time commenter. I'm a certified electrician and I feel like I always see only the worst with past dodgy installs/electrical work and sometimes it makes me lose faith in my trade and I often wonder what's the point. But seeing you guys always post such great videos and showcasing your professional workmanship and expert knowledge and also your customer service quality. It fills me with great pride again to know somehwere out there are blokes that care just as much as me, and I can sleep better every night knowing that, props to all of you and keep up the excellent Artisan work !
Well, I can state that here in Italy almost *NOBODY* does safety checks, testing and installation like those. I never saw an electrician here doing something like that. NEVER! It's amazing. Thank you :)
BUT at least we use pvc corrugated tubes so that we don’t make the mess they do abroad😂…
Unless you live in Pisa where due the high demand of housing (because of students), it’s full of houses with 1960s wirings… I was shocked when I found out those buildings with modern 16A RCBO’s at the top and 6A (yes, six amps) 1950s sockets (the ones using the round box), powered by 1mm2 (or thinner) cables. The estate agents don’t give a shit and call them “code compliant and efficient”.
you should come to norway, thats even more strict
If you don't check and something happens you can end up in court because your the last man in
You should come to Indonesia and compare 😂
When installing a consumer unit, should you leave enough length to allow for future adjustment or board upgrade / replacement?
This is what I do, but at the same time keep everything dressed tidy.
Nobody ever used those hand drills for mortar. But I did use them in 1960s and 1970s in wood
Love that old Stanley hand drill. Remember catching my finger in the unguarded cogs - something you only do once! 🤣
I've used talc for pulling cables through conduit, works well and less messy than the old fairy liquid
that's the reason he has it, he knows the old tricks.
Cheaper and less messy than Yellow 77 as well.
Yep was gonna say the same thing. Same reason they put french chalk in flex so it's easier to pull the sheath off
In some areas of hospitals here in the US, it is the only wire pulling lubricant allowed to be used
Do you spray it on the cable before pulling? Or try force it as far down into the conduit as possible before doing your run?
As a DIY-er i found that on ALL drilling jobs it's more handy to have the vacuum next to the drill because the dust goes everywhere you don't want it....
Suggestion for getting 'round the step. Drill two 45deg(ish) holes across the corners and thread the cable through them and across the front. Saves having to make a sharp bend to get 'round the corners?
Still have to trust the step is sound construction. I'd have gone straight through till they reminded me of steps that break away with very little drilling.
I was a subcontractor on an industrial new build a while ago, doing the the mains boards, i had a bollocking for making them too tidy, " it's not a F****** beauty contest " I was told.
I am no electrician, and in no way pretend to know how to wire up a modern, (or an old) main distribution/fuse board. When you took off the cover, the wires alarmed me. Some appeared to have been nipped against the cover, the mess was obvious. You sorted it out in short order, leaving something that was a pleasure to see, and will inspire confidence in any qualified trades person who looks in the future.
If you put some insulation tape around the holesaw it won't fly through the metal casing.
Stops damaging anything behind the metal casing.
While the board is live too 😮
You were speaking of too much copper showing on the terminations of the consumer unit. Many times in industrial applications they actually want a little bit of copper showing so that they know you aren’t landed on the insulation.
Same in Sweden, but it's a thin line to toe here: you want enough copper to be visible to make sure you haven't crammed insulation into the screw clamp, but never so much you no longer are IP2x, i.e. you can get a test probe on it but not a finger.
Ever considered using 20/25mm hole punch to provide cleaner edges for your glands? 3mm pilot, open to 10mm then spanner to wind the punch through. less flying swarf, and a totally clean edge. Used these for many years, and not expensive.
All that metal swarf from the hole saw inside the enclosure is not a great idea. Thats what hole punches were designed to eliminate.
or use a magnet to clean the metal filings awy
Magnet in cling film, (or similar) makes it easy to clean the magnet.
But I still find punches are cleaner.
Minute Metal swarf inside consumer unit. Where in the regs about this?
@@johncorbett1130 simply best practice for any trade - keep it clean and clear….
Doesn’t really need a reg to state it
I was just about to point out the busbar. Ive seen the same thing myself recently on a fusebox board. Its quite obvious to me, don't know how people make that mistake.
it is so nice to watch your videos. Your attention to quality and details is great. I worked in the UK for two years (mainly doing network stuff) and it was terrible to see how low the quality standards were for anything behind the scenes (and not visible to management).
Thanks for the shout out that was a great fun video. I’ve started installing Hypervolts because of your videos so was great to see another!
More importantly why did HP change their name? 😂
HM for the Jubilee?
Great video as always. I would be careful about moving your hands around the base of the unit in the vicinity of what looks like an exposed live busbar though.
Might be something to do with making a video and chatting while installing, not really the best way of concentrating on the job!
That trick with the glove and running your fingers down the wire to straighten it up is similar to my trick I use when terminating network cable. I use the outer sheath of the cable between my fingers to straighten out the spirals after untwisting the pairs and it makes them so much easier to work with after that.
Top notch to do the re-fit of the board cables as well 👏👏😎
HP Sauce and Heinz Salad Cream are both to be temporarily re-named, to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee...
The problem is that it always falls back on the company that worked on the Fuse Box last. From that point of view, you did everything right.
I see boxes like this almost every day here in Germany. This is what happens when everything has to be done extremely quickly and cheaply. Real proper work unfortunately takes a bit longer and costs a bit more. Although not by much, as you show in the video.
Box-ology is overrated. The very first thing to go when troubleshooting is needed is probably the zip tie looming wires together so an amp reading can be taken. It won't be replaced.
Well done Jordan for sorting that fuse board out, it was messing with my OCD too.
Great job, great team, well done all. Jordan is a fantastic boss, you are lucky lads. 👍👍👍
The black clips are for physical clamping on the top hat DIN rail, not the copper busbar. That’s held in by the terminal screws, no doubt, secured to the correct torque as per the manufacturer.
Talc serves 2 very good uses.
*Help prevent chaffing.
*If you get PU glue on your hands, shake talc on them, it prevents the stickiness (which helps keep hands clean.
Great video guys! Very informative! One question, do you not need to use a Type B RCBO for EV charging so that AC, Pulsing DC and Smooth DC >6ma are accounted for?
Superb. As other coments have mentioned. Liked the explanation of the job at the end with why it was important to check and Reuben is now giving good banter!
Nice video guys,
a comment about the extra work you did in the consumers unit not dangerous but just sloppy workmanship. Now recently retired I used to get involved in jobs which went to court because of electrical fires and worth noting to ALL , electricians in particular in this case.
If you come across a dangerous electrical installation problem , which you may even inform the customer about but do nothing about ie you do not disconnect etc, as the last professional with the knowledge to recognise the danger and something happens you could be left liable and face prosecution. So good work in tidying up the sloppy work and put that wheely Stanley drill back where it deserves.
must be raking it in having ur lads believe its a challenge to do it as quick as possible LMAO
Great video as always, I like how you used a stuffing gland so much quicker
Did you retest all the circuits after re terminating?
It always makes me smile when you insist on having the fuse board neat, when the wire can follow the most random path to the sockets or lights. Electrons really don’t care, do they? I always prefer a bit of slack rather than cut the wire as short as you can in the interest of neatness. This is pandering to your OCD only. And I could still see exposed copper. :)
Also extra cost to "fix" it lol
Idk how it is in the UK but in the US, people see it as a sign of a prideful electrician. So it’s more of a statement/signature then a functionality. I agree, add slack. But also, makes trouble shooting easier for the next guy.
Copper should be a bit exposed so you know there's no insulation in the clamp doing a visual inspection... but never so much you can touch it with your finger.
Make it neat, with a service loop and better doing neat work as it's pride in your work
Having watched this again. I would have sued you for interfering with my board when it wasn’t in your remit, as you actually admitted.
You guys have a great team! And you're right about tidying that consumer unit! I'm not a sparky (even though I went to school for it) but my OCD was tingling on that one!
Just found this channel, I can't believe I have seen sparks clean up after themselves!! Good job guys.
Love the fact that you completely re did the fuse box………………it was such a mess !
Good ol' Canvey! Certainly distinctive!
Wow, that board looked SOOO much better after! (pissed myself at Ruben's "which was before and which was after" comment!!) Nice with the torque screwdriver too.
Thought everybody used that 4mm earth sleeving, I hate it and use the small stuff but never seem to find anybody else using it. (though to be fair don’t do much domestic) Looks so much neater. Can’t believe you re-did the whole board
That wasn't done in "the hour" and neither was ev install
Can easily see that(edit,edit,edit) by just watching the time it took them to run the cable round the back of that post!
He has worked too much with Cory to give that rating of your board. Cory’s board are decent 😂😂Your team are a inspiration to the electrical industry. If people strive to your standards it will make it much better industry.
Hello Artisan...recently discovered your channel and now subscribed...thanks for showing pictures of the hand drill..reminded me of my grandad and dad...God bless their souls..surprising the difference between 2ml and 4ml sleeving makes...
I now live in Thailand..hmm the least said about electrics and installation..
Welcome to The Rock (Canvey Island).
Glad you made it out safely.
I use talc on my 1000v gloves, especially in this weather. but yes also for cable pulling
Talc for stopping fibreglass fibres from loft insulation getting into your pores. Works a treat 👌
That exposed busbar with the power turned on...
They did make hand crank drills w/ impact for concrete/brick :)
I've got a Stanley hand drill exactly the same as that one and use it a lot - not for masonry work though!
Hope you guys are ready for Thursday it’s going to be emotional 😭 #endofanera
If its Cory leaving then we riot!
Stop trolling us
Hp used to stand for Houses of Parliament now it is His majesty
The talcom powder is used to remove moisture from your hands on a warm day as sweaty hands and tools make dangerous combination.
Even more so when working with electrics.
Am I right?
Reuban the bosses work is always a 10/10 🤣🤣
Really liked the Torque Screwdriver use.
awesome video and great Hypervolt install ,Jordan , John and Reuben
Thanks 👍
Can I ask why you chose the compression gland over a armoured swa gland with bonding ring?
I wonder if the person who wired up that box was trying to speedrun the job as well to get some ice cream.
His ice cream was melting already while he was doing it.
Going on about poor workmanship from previous electrician but Cable ran at ground level and holes drilled low level where water could soak into brick work then just cover cable to a bit of gravel and then leaves bonding clamp in main incomer and doesn’t inform dno about it , works on live board drilling and poking fingers inside board 😬
I've still got my Stanley drill from the 60 when i was a sparks .
Excellent work as ever and a really interesting video. How do you find such great staff that are so onboard with you?
Wondering why the lower "comb" busbar is not insulated ?
As for right wheel in cars, neutral and line are inverted compared to the other side of the Channel ;)
Here in Holland we call this a big mess.
Open wires over the wall is a big No-Go here.
I agree this is perfect for GB but what a big different here in Holland.
Fabulous job guys loving your channel 😎👏🇮🇪
I think the consumer unit would have been throw in as fast as possible because that’s all most employers want.
Talcs for cable pulling, also Jordan just be careful with meter boards, personally I would say that board could of been possible asbestos. With in your RAMS you probably would touch the meter board, but obviously moving cleats is a spur of the moment situation, may be worth re assessing the risks. Top work as always though 👍
You can see it's chipboard, there's a big chunk taken out of the top
another good video 👍that consumer unit must of been a Friday job for someone 😂, shame about the ice creams melting
17:16 Would you tell me how do you know the order of cable after putting off all ? And how to make sure it is the original one tight back to each circuit breakers ? Thank you very much !!!!
What a difference in the board, wish you were working down my way 👍
Baby powder stops the chaffing under those Super Mario Boxers! If you know you know lol. Jordan. Your attention to detail is sublime! Well done guys!
Oh thank you!
2.42 that British general double socket shows it all from the quality of care to install that tat
Whyyyy... Do we always rest our hands sooo casually next to the live buzz bars... Yes about twice before you safely isolated 😂😂😂 don't worry.. guilty as well 😅
Did you test and confirm everything after pulling the board apart? Also you are now liable for the whole electical install in the house
HP Sauce and Salad Cream are set to undergo a royal makeover to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The two sauces, which are high on the list of Britain’s favourite condiments, will be available in limited-edition bottles labelled “HM Sauce” and “Heinz Salad Queen” in honour of the monarch’s 70th year
Loved the video guys! Enjoying the clips at the end 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
HM brown sauce is just a rebranded HP brown sauce especially for the Queens Jubilee, same sauce recipe.
love the way you have your fingers next to a live busbar
Maintaining the Structural Integrity of the property is probably more important than speed ...
This customer is absolutely diamond for making those bacon sandwiches, what a way to look after you!!
Some questions for you - why did you remove the bus-bar cover for all the time of the install instead of only once the power was off? Did you know the hand drill is for woodworking not brick, they did make a hammer action version, blue if I remember right, looked nothing like the one you have there.
Raw plug tool was used million years ago :) also use a 1m long 25mm sds through the step, 10mm first :)
can you install consumer unit off the wall this much without compromising IP rating?
My pet hate: modules that don’t make it obvious if the bus isn’t properly entered.
The baby powder is for putting on cables when pull though conduits stops it burning a hole though the insulation
That box is an add for Eaton plug on neutral box.
Awesome job on cleaning up the panel. You really don't see people doing this sort of stuff these days.
Could be something to do with being recorded and promoting the company!!
Nice clean work, well done.
My NICEIC man goes absolutely nuts if the cover come off the consumer unit without it being isolated. Especially with a bare bus bar!! Great vid as always team.
SWA, round the step, through the step?….. nah, go round the top of the door frame and blame the plasterer…😂
Got a link for the work trousers?
Love the tidy up in the fuse box 👌🏼
That was good to see how all of you work together keep it up I cannot wait for the next video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
@@artisanelectrics is that black gland in the board on an SWA? The feed to the charger I mean?
You are leaving the steel wire outer unearthed. Aussie spark here. I'm over in .uk now...still learning and just wondering as I have thought about doing that myself.
That Stanley Hand-Drill. I was given one of those 63 years ago for my 13th birthday, and I still have it, but have not used it for quite a long time.
Nicely done chaps! Baby powder is old school dry lube for cable pulling...
Its was called HM sauce to mark the queens jubille🙂, its back to HP sauce now, which does stand for Houses of Parliament🙂
Nice tip with the rubber mallet 👌🏼
All hail the condiments, as HP Sauce and Salad Cream are set to undergo a royal makeover to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The two sauces, which are high on the list of Britain’s favourite condiments, will be available in limited-edition bottles labelled “HM
Great video..powder here in Italy we used to use powder for passing wires in conduiys
Conduits
What's the name of the device installed in the distribution box? Does it provide protection against over current and dispersions? I see the phase input in the bottom and at the top output? So where the neutral goes in?
"OCD OCD by the beautiful Sea"
Artisan heads to the coast for an EV Charging install '
Jordan and John ,Reuban and Max put themselves on a one hour time constraint..
12.000 calories later topped up with coffee/tea,bacon sanies '99's beer .burgers and fries and install complete. The Guys head home tired but happy.
Note : John uses Baby powder to prevent attic insulation from irritating skin on arms,
Note ; Still cant get over the copper bussing . Why not just have the teeth exposed that the breakers are screwed to, Why not have the shank protected. Its alot of exposed like conducter in the consumer unit..
Hope you did not forget the beach ball and the kite.
Great editing Max. Reuben knows what he knows. Consumer Unit looks Great. When you touch it its yours might as well own it.
